HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 570, 628, 604 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 570, 628, 604 is 2 the largest number which exactly divides all the numbers i.e. where the remainder is zero. Let us get into the working of this example.
Consider we have numbers 570, 628, 604 and we need to find the HCF of these numbers. To do so, we need to choose the largest integer first and then as per Euclid's Division Lemma a = bq + r where 0 ≤ r ≤ b
Highest common factor (HCF) of 570, 628, 604 is 2.
HCF(570, 628, 604) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 570, 628, 604 is 2.
Step 1: Since 628 > 570, we apply the division lemma to 628 and 570, to get
628 = 570 x 1 + 58
Step 2: Since the reminder 570 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 58 and 570, to get
570 = 58 x 9 + 48
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 58 and the new remainder 48, and apply the division lemma to get
58 = 48 x 1 + 10
We consider the new divisor 48 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
48 = 10 x 4 + 8
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 8 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 2 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 570 and 628 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(8,2) = HCF(10,8) = HCF(48,10) = HCF(58,48) = HCF(570,58) = HCF(628,570) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 604 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 604 and 2, to get
604 = 2 x 302 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 2 and 604 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(604,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 570, 628, 604?
Answer: HCF of 570, 628, 604 is 2 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 570, 628, 604 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 570, 628, 604 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
